Training Programme

Training is provided on a cost recovery basis once you have purchased TEAMWORK 1 & 2 Training Manuals and the practical DVD sets. Training is subject to an administration fee, plus a commitment to attend a fun and enjoyable training programme in Burwood.

The training programme introduces you to many new skills designed to create a stronger bond with your canine friend and therefore make training enjoyable and successful. Our Training Sessions take place at our premises in Burwood, which has wheelchair access. Please visit Google Maps for the location and zoom in to check out access. Vehicles may be driven up the drive so passengers can disembark under the carport onto an even surface, as the driveway is quite steep. Please call us to discuss your needs if in any doubt.

In addition we offer one-on-one training services in the local village, with access to shops, banks, chemist, post office, stairs, narrow walkways and much more, all part of our training ground - giving your dog exposure to many different environments. A small fee is charged for our time, and we recommend a package of at least 5 one-hour lessons to gain maximum benefit. The key to success with this programme, is your commitment and dedication to practising between sessions.

If attending in Burwood is not possible, training arrangements can be adapted to suit but a fee to cover our travel costs will be applied as well as the training fees. We will still use the TEAMWORK package as our training guidelines.
